LG introduces its first 5G-enabled smartphone, unveils G and V series

The V50 ThinQ has also a new vapor chamber to better dissipate heat that often occurs during multiple access and multitasking enabled by the 5G network. LG is still figuring out which models will arrive in which markets though, so we don't yet know which versions will be available where. However, there had been no official statement regarding the price and availability of both Smartphones. It has a 50mAh larger battery though and it will have the triple camera on the rear. The 6.2-inch FHD OLED (2160x1080) accessory can be used to augment the existing display in the V50 ThinQ 5G.

LG G8 has an 8MP camera with an IR sensor and transmitter for motion-captioning purposes and 3D mapping. That name's definitely going to get easier to say. There is a Video Portrait mode that lets users control the bokeh while shooting videos from the rear camera. On the front, LG G8 has a depth-sensing camera which has been dubbed as "Z Sensor" by the company.

Something unique about the new G8 flagships is the placement of a ToF (time of flight) sensor which now adds a new "Hand ID" feature. Battery capacity is 3500mAh with fast charging supported but neither wireless or reverse charging. Adddtionally, LG's G8s, which has fewer features and lower specs than the G8, is also skipping the American market.

Another flaghip phone, the G8 ThinQ for 4G LTE was also unveiled on Sunday. But you'll be able to unlock the device by placing your palm in front of it. The handset is fuelled by a slightly bigger 3,550mAh battery. It has a slightly larger 6.4-inch OLED QHD+ display, a 4000mAh battery, and comes with numerous same specs as the G8, though it lacks the Z-camera and the Crystal Sound OLED. Under the hood, the device is powered by Snapdragon 855 octa-core processor along with Adreno 640.

Durability-wise, it's MIL-STD 810G compliant and has an IP68 resistance to water and dust. It runs Android 9.0 Pie OS and is fueled by 4000mAh with support for Quick Charge 3.0 technology. It's easily connected to the smartphone via three pogo pins, and it only weighs 131 g (the V50 weighs 183 g). The display is protected with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass on top. The phone comes with a 6.40-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1440 pixels by 3120 pixels at a PPI of 538 pixels per inch.

Such functions will come in handy when users' hands are too busy to actually touch the smartphone screen, such as when cooking or driving, according to the electronics company.
